Syracuse, N.Y. - Former U.S. Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will speak in Clinton tonight as part of a lecture series at Hamilton College.

About 5,800 people are expected to attend. It is free, but tickets are required.

There is no live stream.

The talk starts at 6:30 p.m. in the Margaret Bundy Scott Field House.

This is Clinton's first public talk since she stepped down as Secretary of State, according to the school. President Bill Clinton spoke at Hamilton College in 2004.

Her talk is part of the Sacerdote Great Names Series, which has brought three other former secretaries of state to campus: Colin Powell, Madeleine Albright and Condoleezza Rice.

Clinton topped the field of potential Democrats to run for president in 2016 in a poll released Wednesday. Peter A. Brown, assistant director at the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, called her "above the fray and the queen of the 2016 mountain." (NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo had about 2 percent of Democrats polled to Clinton's 61.)

(If you're curious, Clinton, NY is named for New York's first Gov. George Clinton, uncle of Erie Canal builder DeWitt Clinton.)
